Spiced Pumpkin & Pecan Scones With Cinnamon Chips image

Delicous and different scones with pumpkin, pecans, and cinnamon chips; this recipe was inspired by chef #242729's recipe #397407, which I added oatmeal, spelt flour, maple syrup or maple extract, pecans, and cinnamon chips to, and also added a spiced sugar sprinkle on top. recipe #397407 has a wonderful recipe in it for honey butter; I highly recommend it if you like butter on your scones! You can use canned, frozen, or fresh pumpkin puree in these scones.

Yield 6 Scones, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons butter, softened
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon maple extract (optional) or 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
1 cup pumpkin puree (250g)
4 tablespoons milk
1 -2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or 1 -2 teaspoon mixed spice
2 cups spelt flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup cinnamon baking chips (optional)
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or 1 -2 teaspoon mixed spice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 F / 200 C / Gas 6. Lightly grease a baking tray or line with parchment paper.
  • Cream together butter and sugar, then beat in egg, pumpkin puree, maple syrup or extract (if using), and 4 tablespoons milk until smooth. Add the mixed spice to the pumpkin mixture, taste and adjust the spices to taste. Stir in flour and oatmeal until a dough forms, add nuts and chips, then knead a few times on a well floured surface until the dough holds together. Press the dough into a flat circle 1 to 1.5cm thick. Cut into 6 wedges, place onto greased baking tray, and brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of milk and sprinkle with spiced sugar (mixture of sugar and spice).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top and bottom, 15 to 20 minutes. Once done, wrap scones with a clean tea towel and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving (with the honey butter from referenced recipe if preferred.).
